THANK YOU to the trendsetters, the igniters, those willing to courageously step outside the sanctioned playpen and to create something fresh, original, bold, unconventional...due to your energy and boundless support, Hammerstep’s run of ‘INDIGOGREY: The Micah Grey Experiment,’ the first live entry point into the world of #INDIGOGREY, was a success!
Thank you first and foremost to the fearless warriors of the @hammerstepnyc cast and crew—to our wizard technical director and co-producer @thepetermania, to our tireless and resilient company manager @robert_obrien10, to our electric cast @jasonoremus @gcoleman412 @littlemissslay @p.lka @caitieriane @thatdude_shadow @kokoro_modja @owenluebbers @mycrazybeautifullife617 @laurbeadindeed @gabriellawood @abby_coyman @ilovelucey07 @conorreagan_ @kieranriley917 @sasha_alvarez @travis mitchell, to our ingenious sound designer @chuckpalmer and composers @cellogram99 and @amylee, our brilliant costume designer @hatrabbitstudio, our incredible production designer @nimblist, our @belllabsnokia drone engineers Michael Baldwin and Prasanth Ananth, to our set fabricator @yawn_moon, our animators @thepetermania and Andrew Hildebrand, our digital artists @vj_catmac and @volvoxlabs, to everyone who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, especially @myhairgoesto and @millymordrick.
A HUGE shout out to our partners at @belllabsnokia @newinc @newmuseum @manacontemporary and to our original @kickstarter backers for taking a leap of faith on this wild dream project and for helping to bring It to reality. Without you this wouldn’t have been possible. We are honored to have shared this experience with fellow artists @thelisapark and @sougwen and look forward to collaboration in the future!
Finally...thank you to all the family, friends, and loyal fans who have been there at every step of this transformational ride. Stay tuned for next steps... #hammerstep #immersive #dance #scifi #technology #theater #liveperformance #NYC #projectionmapping #digitalstorytelling #thefuture #entertainment #belllabs #newinc #newmuseum @ THANK YOU to the trendsetters, the igniters, those willing to courageously step outside the sanctioned playpen and to create something fresh, original, bold, unconventional...due to your energy and boundless support, Hammerstep’s run of ‘INDIGOGREY: The Micah Grey Experiment,’ the first live entry point into the world of #INDIGOGREY, was a success!

Light at the end of the tunnel
.
.
Telecommunication revolutionized the way the world communicates- from telephones to high-speed internet, these modes of communication have become inevitable for our daily existence. So how cool would it be to communicate at the speed of light?
.
.
In 2009, Charles Kao won the Nobel Prize in Physics for revolutionizing communication using optical fibers [Seen in the first picture]. Fiber optics communication relies on the sending information using light, as opposed to using electric signals through copper cables. Long distance communication systems meant using long cables which would be bent or wound multiple times and still have the ability to relay the information. So how exactly does light travel in bent cables?
.
.
By using glass tubes, the inner reflective walls ensures that the light remains inside while still moving through the curves and bends (swipe left to see how it works). As a result of these ‘multiple reflections’ within the cable, the light emerges unaffected at the exit. This is called Total Internal reflection (TIR) which is the basic working principle of an optical fiber. For high-speed communication purposes, bundle of thousands of very thin glass fibers is used.
.
.
Researchers at Bell Laboratories have been able to reach internet speeds of about 100 peta kilometers (10^15 km) per second. Not just in communication, optical fibers have found numerous uses spanning from medical devices, sensors, toys and decorative purposes. The next time you go camping to a forest and still manage to get an Instagram notification, thank the optical fibers for it!

Campus (1of3)
.
Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey is a kind of mythical starting point for the American office campus. Bell Labs was a state of the art innovative research facility—and thus its relocation from New York City was partly due to the quiet background acoustics of pastoral suburbia. Its university-like design was accentuated by corridors connecting various buildings, creating a supposed serendipity factor whereby various scientists and developers had no option but to encounter one another. Despite—or because of—very strict entry requirements with only the best and brightest selected (and presumably, given the time, mostly with similar social backgrounds), Bell Labs provided more than its share of important discoveries and Nobel Prizes, leading many more corporations—and designers—in search of the Bell Labs effect…
